A man has been arrested and two others are wanted in connection with a kidnapping and carjacking case in Tuolumne County that took place in December of 2022. The incident began on December 22nd, when deputies responded to a report of an assault at Adventist Health Sonora. A man reported that he had been assaulted in the Jamestown area by two male suspects, one of whom was armed with a firearm. The suspects then stole money from the victim, forced him into his own vehicle, and drove him to Calaveras County, where they left him on the side of the road.
Over the next few months, detectives from the Tuolumne County Sheriff’s Office Investigations Unit followed up on leads, reviewed surveillance footage, and conducted interviews with potential witnesses. On March 30th, 2023, 39-year-old Aaron Hagerman turned himself in on an unrelated warrant and was arrested in connection with the kidnapping and carjacking case. He was booked at the Dambacher Detention Center on charges of felony conspiracy to commit a crime, kidnapping, robbery, carjacking, criminal threats, and burglary.
Two additional suspects, 25-year-old Alyssa Hoyopatubbi and 33-year-old Jeffrey Moore, are still wanted in connection with the case. They have active warrants for their arrest for the crimes of robbery, kidnapping, carjacking, vehicle theft, criminal threats, and kidnapping during the commission of a carjacking.
The Tuolumne County Sheriff’s Office Investigations Division is still actively investigating the case and is urging anyone with information related to the case or who knows the whereabouts of Hoyopatubbi or Moore to contact them at 209-533-5815.
